Is there any feature of asynchronous calling in PL/SQL? Suppose I am in a block of code would like to call a procedure multiple times and wouldn't bother when and what the procedure returns?
BEGIN
myProc(1,100);
myProc(101,200);
myProc(201,300);
...
...
END;
In the above case, I don't want my code to wait for myProc(1,100) to finish processing before executing(101,200)
Thanks.
Another way of doing parallel (multi-threaded) PL/SQL is shown here:

The disadvantage of using dbms_job or dbms_schedular is that you don't really know when your tasks are finished. I read that you don't bother but maybe you will change your mind in the future.
EDIT:
This article http://www.devx.com/dbzone/10MinuteSolution/20902/0/page/1 describes another way. It uses dbms_job and dbms_alert. The alerts are used to signal that the jobs are done (callback signal).
